Owners most consistently praise the Pirelli CINTURATO P7 for its strong dry grip and secure, predictable road manners, with many also finding it generally comfortable for everyday and motorway use. Wet grip and road noise are far more divisive, with feedback split between “excellent” and distinctly underwhelming, especially in colder, wetter conditions. Longevity is the biggest talking point: almost half of reviewers mention tread life and opinion is evenly split, with many reporting quicker-than-expected wear. A smaller but notable minority (around one in eight) also complain about weak-feeling sidewalls and muted steering feedback, and around one in ten report puncture or sidewall-damage issues.

After the original new car tires of my MAZDA 3 Sport with extremely poor all roads surface traction. Replaced with this Pirelli Cinturato P7 AS(ALL SEASON) in June 2016. With over 44 years of driving experience, I can say it's worth the $$ so far. During that summer it had driven in hot summer sun and parked under well exposed sun. The reason for me to mention that is a good tire should not have rubber crack or rot under extreme conditions like my 2nd car Camry with the famous LOUSY Michellin Premier MXV4 with only 2-3 years of use which looks like a set of rolling time bomb on wheels.
Over all my Pirelli P7 tires performs as the way I expected a good tire should do. Characteristic road handling on dry road were great with good feedback for sharp cornering ability and straight forward tracking with confident. In wet driving also inspires good grips with secure feels. Tested in normal and strong down pour of that summer. Braking were also great with predicable distance as I expected from this car in top control manners. It actually rides quite good and quieter too. The OEM tires were very noisy and harsh.
I lives in the north eastern coast of North America, therefore snow comes for me to test in the winter of 2017. Normally I switch full winter snow tires. That option were not available due to all worn out from last winter usage. In the Feb. 2017 we had over 2 heavy snow storms and 1 huge blizzard in only 2 weeks. With over 60 cm+ of snow on the last one. Our city snowplows can't keep up with the heavy snowfall. I had to run some errands needs to travel on the messy highway and unfinished plowed city roads with only this Pirelli Cinturato P7 AS which wasn't designed to do on 6- 16 cm or more of messy highway and city street snow covered roads.The snow covered surfaces I encountered were not smooth, consisted with plenty of turns, slops, off highway ramps,stop and go, and some slight uphills as well.
What amazed me was this tire proves it can match my winter Blizzak on snow. The steering behavior felt safe with good confident. Traction to take off from full stop were amazing on snow too. Able to keep up with AWD and 4X4 vehicles. Braking on snow were reasonable too. Tire grips and stability on straight line and turns has good feelings of security (snow covered roads). I never expected this all season tire with treads that looks kind of smooth and doesn't look very aggressive can delivery this kind of overall performances.

I am very impressed with these tyres in the dry and wet , I've had these tyres for about 3 years now, before I was recommended to use infinity, so had them on my ford mondeo mk 3 1800 cc estate, these are noisy tyres and o.k.in the dry, but
once I was excellarating from a traffic island in the wet these tyres just wouldn't grip the road, so I got rid as I could, then got some pirelli P7, they are definitely a lot quieter, and I have had no problems in the wet or dry,
Check out how the BEST all seasons tyres perform against premium summer and winter tyres!
Bought a new car which came with these tyres. In the dry they are great, i drive quite hard and don't experience any drift or feel as though the tyre is braking traction. The wet however, they are possibly one of the worst tyres ive had. Constantly braking traction, drift on the slightest bend and really does not fill me with confidence. Road noise is fine, a lot quieter than my usual tyre (Michelin PS3) which I think I will be going back to when these need changing. I would recommend them to a friend however who drives a little calmer than me and has less power in their car.
Tyre wear is much better than I'm used to, now have 6500 miles on this set, I'm usually changing the driven tyres at 8-10k with the PS3 tyres.
Bought this tyres as recommended by a tyre dealer.
it's pretty good during the first 15k km, irregardless o dry or wet.
what follow next is nightmare, the rear tend to wear out so much faster for my ride and it' actually deform. 20k km and the rear is at its min thread rating mark, but still running good in the front with almost 50% threads.
i believe for my ride, it do stress the rear as im pushing 270nm of torque on the rear wheel plus the car is 1.5ton heavy. maybe that explain the wear and deform? ( idk)
Guess the comments regarding this tyre that will deform overtime is true.
get rid of the tyre and change to michellin ps4 with no regrets
I've had these on since my car was new I've went through 6 tyres in total and covered 106000 miles at the moment they are the run flats too.... These are probably my favrioute tyre for all round performance I've used that's why I keep using them.
Trocken-Grip: Phänomenal! Wirklich griffiger Reifen bei Trockenheit. Nichts auszusetzen. Übertrifft meine Erwartungen.
Grip bei Nässe: Hält einiges an Power aus. Meine Giulietta bringt 200 PS auf die Vorderreifen, und da ist kein bisschen Durchdrehen der Räder oberhalb von 70 km/h, wenn man das Gaspedal richtig runterdrückt.
Straßenfeedback: Der Reifen hat ein ziemlich weiches Seitenteil, daher gibt es nicht wirklich viel Feedback. Man fühlt kaum, was vor sich geht.
Progressivität: Habe ich noch nicht wirklich herausgefunden. Ich habe einfach eine Menge Grip!
Verschleiß: Kann ich nicht viel drüber sagen. Ich habe die Reifen neu gekauft und nach 8.000 km ist kaum Abrieb erkennbar.
Komfort: Das ist die Stärke dieser Reifen! Sie sind leise, weich und im täglichen Stadtverkehr wirklich gut zu fahren.
Wieder kaufen: Wenn ich nicht nach einem sportlicheren Reifen suchen würde, definitiv. Habe aber größere Räder gekauft, also brauche ich andere Reifen. Habe gerade die Brigdestone Potenza S001 gekauft, ein etwas steiferes Rad für sportlicheres Fahren.
Der Pirelli Cinturato P7 ist für Fahrer, die ab und zu sportlich fahren, aber auch einen Reifen benötigen, der mit langen Fahrten und allen Wetterbedingungen klarkommt.
Diese Reifen waren von 2011-2014 an meinem Auto (vier Sommer), und haben etwa 25.000 km gehalten, die meisten Fahrten auf der Autobahn. Ich wäre mit ihnen bei vorsichtiger Fahrweise wahrscheinlich noch über einen weiteren Sommer gekommen, aber dann hatte ich ein Loch in einem der Reifen, der sich nicht reparieren ließ. Was mir an ihnen aufgefallen ist, ist der sehr gute Halt bei trockenen Wetterbedingungen, insbesondere der Seiten-Grip in scharfen Kurven. Sie sind allerdings auch ziemlich hart, und untersteuern daher auf nassen Straßen leicht. Aus diesem Grund suche ich nach anderen Alternativen mit einem etwas besseren Fahrverhalten bei Nässe.
Zu Beginn hatte ich an den Reifen nichts auszusetzen. Komfort, Geräuschentwicklung und Handhabung war alles ziemlich gut. Nach 15.000 Kilometern hatte ich noch 5mm Profil übrig – gar nicht schlecht, wenn man meinen Fahrstil bedenkt.
Unglücklicherweise muss ich nach noch einmal 13.000 Kilometern ehrlicherweise sagen, dass sie kaum noch oder gar keine Dämpfung mehr bieten und so laut werden, dass ich mehr als einmal mit dem Auto in der Werkstatt war, um die Buchsen überprüfen zu lassen, weil ich mir nicht vorstellen konnte, dass Reifen so einen Lärm machen!!
Das Auto kommt mit trockenen und nassen Bedingungen gut klar, außer am Limit, und das Feedback ist nicht schlecht. Also hier keine Beschwerden. Aber die Seitenwände fühlen sich zu weich an, besonders wenn man ans Limit geht (ärgerlich, wenn man da den Verlust an Komfort bedenkt!).
Pirelli hat hier einen fantastischen Reifen für die ersten 10.000 Kilometer entworfen. Ab dann werden sie zunehmend unbequemer über Unebenheiten und schwammig in Kurven!
Ich kann sie nicht empfehlen – zumal für den Preis, bei dem ich erwartet hätte, dass die guten Eigenschaften auch ein ganzes Reifenleben halten!

Good reliable tyre, comfortable, not too much noisy, good for fast driving on dry and wet, good car handling on corners. I drive a pair of them as front tyres 45000 km.
I recommend them
